Then, with a wave of Ye Chen's hand, five Giant Divine Soldiers appeared, standing alongside the Primordial Demon Giant Divine Soldier. The might of these six Giant Divine Soldiers was terrifying and boundless.
Beside him, the Quasi-Monarch Ni Gu and the other servants at the forefront trembled at the sight of these six Giant Divine Soldiers. At this moment, they all understood that these were not Quasi-Monarchs from the human race's side, but merely Quasi-Monarch puppets he had refined.
This was absolutely an unimaginably fearsome lineup.
Unless an Ancient Monarch appeared, who in this world could truly deal with the Battle Saint King?
Quasi-Monarch Ni Gu's heart trembled even more, grateful that he had only been enslaved. Otherwise, the final outcome would likely have been being refined into a Quasi-Monarch puppet, just like these Giant Divine Soldiers.
"Although my current combat power is not inferior to a mid-stage Quasi-Monarch, perhaps even stronger. But in this world, there is always someone beyond another, a sky beyond the sky. Among the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans, there might not be a lack of late-stage Quasi-Monarchs, or even terrifying experts at the Great Perfection level."
"Even against a peak late-stage Quasi-Monarch powerhouse, I might not be able to defeat them at present, perhaps even be at a disadvantage, possibly unable to match them. So I need to prepare more backup plans."
Ye Chen's eyes burned with fervor as they lingered on the six Giant Divine Soldiers. "But now I've finally gathered six Giant Divine Soldiers. Although, apart from the Primordial Demon Giant Divine Soldier, the others are only at the early-stage Quasi-Monarch level, it's enough. It's time to use that secret technique."
The six Quasi-Monarch-level Giant Divine Soldiers also gave him the opportunity to test that method.
That secret technique was also something he had obtained unintentionally. It required exactly six individuals to cooperate. Once unleashed, it could display heaven-defying power.
And having six Quasi-Monarch-level Giant Divine Soldiers execute it would undoubtedly allow this secret technique's power to be maximized.
Boom—
At this moment, illusory images of worlds and heavens manifested on the bodies of the six Giant Divine Soldiers. Their divine might was vast and majestic, as if they could overturn the cycle of heaven and earth...
Three days later, Ye Chen's figure reappeared, carrying a strong sense of satisfaction. The servants led by Quasi-Monarch Ni Gu beside him revealed expressions of disbelief.
"The secret technique is very feasible. Now, once it's unleashed, unless an Ancient Monarch appears, I can go anywhere under the heavens."
"Moreover, now is the time to collect interest from the various major powers!"
Ye Chen murmured to himself, a hint of madness flickering in his eyes.
...
Because he had slaughtered nineteen royal clans in a row, slain the Primordial Demon Blood Lord, and caused the pursuers led by Quasi-Monarchs to never return, it could be said to have thoroughly shaken the world.
For a time, Ye Chen's prestige was unparalleled, his invincible bearing unmatched across the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
The various imperial clans and Immortal Clans seemed to be holding their breath, no longer sending out pursuers.
When the powers of the heavens saw Ye Chen walking the mortal world, their hearts trembled. They all revered him as a deity. The great figures of the major powers personally came out to welcome him, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
Ye Chen did not linger much. Treading upon the Chaos Great Dao, he traversed the heavens, rescuing all humans and taking them away.
Now, having thoroughly established an invincible, awe-inspiring might, wherever he passed, no one dared to intercept or pursue him. He smoothly gathered the various human race strongholds into his inner world for settlement.
However, Ye Chen understood better than anyone that these imperial clans, Immortal Clans, and even royal clans would not let the matter rest so easily. They would inevitably seize the opportunity to strike at him, and often that strike would be the most terrifying blow, aimed at completely destroying him outside the human race's Emperor Realm.
The current calm was merely the eve of the storm.
But Ye Chen sneered inwardly, without the slightest fear, nor did he immediately return to the human race's Emperor Realm.
Moreover, his confidence was even greater now.
During this period, what shocked the people of the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain was that during Ye Chen's tour of the world, he had passed by the Ancient Worlds of one imperial clan or Immortal Clan after another multiple times. He had intentionally or unintentionally stood still for a while each time, gazing into the distance at those Ancient Worlds.
Although he did not speak a word or make any move, it put these imperial clans or Immortal Clans on high alert. They mobilized their entire clans for defense, fearing that Ye Chen, the Battle Saint King who had carved out a fearsome reputation through slaughter, would attack.
But in the end, Ye Chen always left because he could sense that within these imperial clan and Immortal Clan Ancient Worlds, a terrifying aura was slowly spreading—that of Ancient Monarchs. They had been disturbed, casting down cold, merciless gazes.
Ye Chen only smiled coldly, utterly unafraid.
The Ancient Monarchs of the present era had mutual agreements not to take action. What did he have to fear?
Even if he truly barged into these imperial clan or Immortal Clan Ancient Worlds, these Ancient Monarchs might not dare to act. Otherwise, the three Ancient Monarchs of the human race would have long since taken action.
During this time, Ye Chen had always traveled alone. The enslaved Quasi-Monarch Ni Gu and the other powerful Divine Kings had not appeared because, for now, the news of the enslavement could not be known to the world. Otherwise, the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans would inevitably investigate the released Quasi-Monarchs, Divine Kings, etc., which would be very detrimental to future plans.
Not long after, Ye Chen appeared within the vast Domain of the Great Shang Dynasty.
Without a doubt, the Great Shang Dynasty learned of Ye Chen's arrival immediately. Moreover, Ye Chen's whereabouts were now watched by the entire world; it was impossible not to know.
The Great Shang Dynasty was one of the Nine Clans and Eighteen Kingdoms from that era, standing tall in the Eighth Heavenly Realm Ancient Domain. It was an immortal imperial dynasty passed down through endless ages, having risen since the Dark Blood Era.
Even in this great era where various imperial clans and Immortal Clans appeared together, it remained a peerless imperial dynasty dominating the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, possessing billions of troops, countless experts, and occupying a Domain spanning millions of miles.
Even beyond the Domain, it occupied numerous stars, having developed a vast expanse of outer starry sky into its imperial Domain, a place of imperial dynasty prosperity and flourishing at its peak.
All this did not even include the imperial clan Ancient World of the Great Shang imperial clan, which was no smaller than the occupied imperial Domain.
It could be said that this was an imperial dynasty prosperous to the extreme.
The Imperial Son of this dynasty, Shang Ziyan, had also awakened in this era. However, like other Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants, he was undergoing seclusion training and continuous improvement within the secret realm world left by his father, the Emperor, and had not yet emerged.
Ye Chen's speed was extremely fast. The experts of the Great Shang Dynasty couldn't even manage to intercept him slightly. Treading upon the Chaos Great Dao, he directly traversed hundreds of thousands of miles, heading straight for the imperial capital of the Great Shang Dynasty.
A massive city covering ten thousand miles in radius appeared in his vision. Faintly, countless powerful auras flickered in and out of sight, revealing the extraordinary nature of this imperial capital.
But this was not the imperial city of the Great Shang Dynasty. The imperial city was located separately within the imperial clan Ancient World of the dynasty.
The Chaos Great Dao reached to the heavens. Ye Chen directly appeared outside the imperial capital without the slightest concealment, carrying supreme might that put the Great Shang Dynasty on high alert.
The contemporary dynasty ruler of the imperial dynasty appeared in the imperial capital at once, followed by dynasty experts, no fewer than five Divine Kings.
The Nine Clans and Eighteen Kingdoms were imperial clan forces that had entered the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain since the Dark Blood Era, possessing far greater heritage than the imperial clans and Immortal Clans that entered later.
Countless experts of the Great Shang Dynasty appeared outside the imperial capital to welcome him, and immediately prepared to activate the imperial capital's protective heavenly curtain, all wary that the Battle Saint King might take action against the Great Shang Dynasty.
Although under normal circumstances the Battle Saint King would not dare to act, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"The Battle Saint King honors us with his presence. Our Great Shang Dynasty failed to welcome you from afar."
The Great Shang Dynasty ruler, worthy of being the contemporary ruler of an imperial dynasty, even when facing the Battle Saint King whose fearsome reputation shook the present era, did not show much panic. After calming down, he took the initiative to welcome him, speaking thus.
However, facing the Battle Saint King, even though five Divine Kings appeared immediately, there was still a sense of terrifying crisis. It was clear to the present era how fearsome the Battle Saint King was; even several times more Divine King experts might not be enough to handle him.
"Is Shang Ziyan still in seclusion?" Ye Chen asked.
"The Imperial Son Ancestor has been in seclusion for eighteen years and has not yet emerged," the dynasty ruler responded with a cupped fist.
Ye Chen sighed softly. "As expected. He doesn't know."
At that grand feast in the Qin Family Emperor Hall, he had once shared wine and song with Shang Ziyan. In fact, he had done the same with many Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants. In many aspects, they could be considered friends.
It was a pity that after these Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants entered seclusion, the Ancient Monarchs took control of authority and set their sights on the Heaven-Falling Tomb. Otherwise, while these Imperial Sons, Imperial Daughters, and Immortal Dao descendants were in the world and had friendly relations with Ye Chen, the various imperial clans and Immortal Clans might not have dared to take action against the human race.
Then he sighed slightly again. "Shang Ziyan, I'm sorry."
The dynasty ruler's expression changed immediately. "Battle Saint King, what do you mean by that?"
"Simple. The Great Shang Dynasty dispatched three Divine Kings to attack my human race a year ago. My arrival now is merely repaying in kind, collecting interest."
Ye Chen was concise.
The world was shaken. Within the imperial capital were cultivators from all over the Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain, all shocked. Was the Battle Saint King actually going to take action against the Great Shang Dynasty?
If this news spread, it would inevitably turn into a huge uproar, shocking the entire Ten Heavenly Realms Ancient Domain.
The Divine King realm dynasty ruler of the Great Shang Dynasty changed color on the spot. Making a prompt decision, he immediately sent a message and activated the imperial capital's immortal great formation. A massive heavenly curtain appeared, enveloping the entire ancient imperial capital city.
And he immediately gave the order, shouting loudly, "World-Destroying Level Alert!"
The so-called World-Destroying Level Alert was one of the several alert levels the Great Shang Dynasty had for facing crises. Among them, the World-Destroying Level Alert was one of the highest levels. Once this level of alert appeared, the entire clan would mobilize, their heritage would emerge to deal with the situation.
It must be known that throughout history, the entire Great Shang Dynasty had only activated the World-Destroying Level Alert a few times during the Dark Blood Era, all when facing monarch-level beast gods from the Primordial Ancient Domain. Since the Dark Blood Era, this level of alert had never appeared.
Now, facing the arrival of a slaughter god like Ye Chen, they directly activated the World-Destroying Level Alert because Ancient Monarchs could not take action; not activating the World-Destroying Level Alert was not an option.
The Great Shang Dynasty ruler also smiled bitterly. The dynasty had flourished for endless ages, and throughout history, few had dared to violate it. He never expected that in his generation, they would be forced to activate the World-Destroying Level Alert.
But there was no other way, all because the Battle Saint King was too heaven-defying, possessing power stronger than an ordinary Quasi-Monarch, not to be underestimated.
